Floral motifs are the leitmotif of Ellen M\u00e4der-Gutz's sculptures, \"...whereby it is never about the mere depiction of flowers and plants. Rather, the artist reduces the forms and structures of botanical events to the essentials in order to visualise the invisible lines of force in nature\" (Dr. Martin Feltes, Chairman of the Kunstkreis Cloppenburg e.V.). In the exhibition, Ellen M\u00e4der-Gutz's colourfully glazed wooden sculptures enter into an exciting dialogue with the botanical elements and vegetative forms in Ute W\u00f6llmann's paintings, which are presented with great painterly verve. Ute W\u00f6llmann combines impasto oil paint with thin, delicate watercolour and achieves tremendous surface tension through the maximum range of thin glaze layers to impasto surface textures. Ellen M\u00e4der-Gutz, on the other hand, achieves both an external and haptic concentration on the simple form through the intensive treatment of the wooden surface<\/p>\n Ute W\u00f6llmann<\/b>founder and director of the Akademie f\u00fcr Malerei Berlin and managing partner of Galerie Root am Savignyplatz, studied painting with Georg Baselitz at the Hochschule der K\u00fcnste Berlin from 1983-1989 and became a master student in 1989.<\/p>\n Prizes, scholarships and numerous exhibitions at home and abroad followed. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n In 2010, she opened Galerie Root am Savignyplatz, a producer's gallery that has already been represented at numerous national and international art fairs, together with lecturers, master students and students from her academy. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The textbook \"On the art of successfully studying painting\" was published in 2012<\/p>\n In 2014, Ute W\u00f6llmann took over the producers' gallery and has been running it as Galerie ROOT UG (haftungsbeschr\u00e4nkt) since then. At the beginning of 2015, she moved into new premises at Hardenbergstra\u00dfe 9, front building, 2nd floor on the right. On the same floor opposite is the Akademie f\u00fcr Malerei Berlin, with which Galerie ROOT has been working for 10 years and represents both lecturers and graduates of the Akademie f\u00fcr Malerei Berlin as artists. In addition, it is a central concern of Ute W\u00f6llmann to present artists beyond the mainstream. The gallery's concept mainly focuses on contemporary painting. The spectrum ranges from realistic to non-representational to experimental positions. The gallery has been a member of the Landesverband der Berliner Galerien since 2012.<\/p>\n In 2016, the gallery will be represented at art KARLSRUHE for the third time.<\/p>\n Works by Ute W\u00f6llmann in public ownership and collections:<\/u> Harvest Art Collection, Zoofenster, Waldorf-Astoria Berlin; Sparkassenstiftung Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg; Collection of the Federal Foreign Office, Berlin; Soziale K\u00fcnstlerf\u00f6rderung, Berlin; Collection City of Sigmaringen; Collection Capgemini Berlin; Volkswagenstiftung Wolfsburg<\/p>\n Ellen M\u00e4der-Gutz<\/b> was born in Bergfelde and studied at the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weissensee.
